whats the best cam people have used on the street with there 186 / 202, im lookin for a big lumpy cam for my 186, but dont want it too big for the street as i want to be able to drive comfortably. something like an 'xu1'spec cam from the lc, but there fairly basic, and i want it to be loud and have heeps of lump. so please share what you have, or have had from experience.

Cheers Blake

the 150A and 392C are both magic camshafts, nice lump, good power but the 150A isnt that much of a pig.

can someone tell me how the crow cams go as well. pm me if needed?

i'd stay away for a performance application. ive seen them drop lobes and lifters not rotating

Look up Waggot Cams or engineering.
Thinking they are somewhere on the NSW north coast now.
There old 30/70 cam was the ducks guts for daily drivers.
Reckon they forgotten more about red 6s than most these days know.

I will second waggots for street cams.

you could put a boat cam in it that would pull hard as down low for the 221 stroker the cam would prob run out at 5000 tho but should still go good

sorry to jack the thread but while where on the subject anyone no the best cam for 186/stroker 221 crank, As far as i kno there not good for high revs so anything revn over 6 is no good. Place i spoke to about puttin motor back together recommended crow xu1 cam but ive heard a few bad things about them plus wots the point of having a cam in there thats needs to rev more than me motor can handle??

more cubes will put the rev range lower on the stroker than it would on a 202 or 186.
so the rpm range will be lower than all the listings for cams that are for a 202.

Which ever cam manufacturer that you decide on, talk to them explain what you want from the vehicle(be honest)& what the engine specs are. Don't get a particular cam because someone else say's it was ok for them, because they may have eg. 12:1 compression & you may have 9.5, so the engine may be a dog to drive. Personally I never had much luck with Crow(they seem to pick the cam from the book, not from my info)Bert Jones,Watson cams, COME & Camtech(talk to Malcolm) I've had great success with.
